There are many ways...
If you are lucky you will have *.old initrds so just edit your grub
prompt to use initrd.img.old rather than initrd.img (via text mode in grub)
Failing that, boot with a rescue dvd, chroot into your install and force
the install of util-linux from mga2. Then regenerate your initrd.
Failing massive filesystem corruption it's almost always possible to
rescue things - just takes varying degrees of effort! :)
